The cnv is a C20: 165152. Also due are 2 French helos and a Polish CN295

Are they well visible from outside the fence?

[Kieran]

Thanks for the information!

Does anyone know of anymore aircraft due for the Normandy weekend?

[Le Addeur noir]

The 3 USMC KC-130Js here last week have long since departed back to CYYT.

[Oscar01]

And as you might guess, there will be more during the week (arrivals for ceremonies).

Anybody got any clue about general possibilities at Caen? Open or not?

The President will visit sometime this week,so there will be more noted in the area,he left Andrews this morning going to Warsaw first,also Brussels and Normandy are all planned on this trip,thus all the extra aircraft,including 2 E-4B.

[Oscar01]

1 E-4 has nothing to do with Obama. But that's a bit off topic here.
